my question is i have the nwa 89 scenerio and i have a stellar roster with guys like ricky steamboat sting british bulldog flair blanchard arn ole jarret larry z orndorff flying brian liger muta terry funk a young mark callous and a few others and some of my top teams brain busters rock and roll express steiners us express road warriors freebirds doc and gordy and the samoan swat team and my feuds are brian pillman vs bobby eaton for tv title muta vs liger doc and gordy vs road warriors flair vs steamboat and i alwyas get 8o and higgher for my cards but im losing money how could i stop losing money if i released some jobbers would that help First step: Make sure everyone you use on a regular basis is signed to a written contract. Open contracts slowly bleed you of money. Second: Make sure that you get the most money you can from sponsors. Third: It sounds like you have a pretty stacked roster. You probably want to trim the fat and release some guys. I've found that for global companies you'll probably want to have about 60 or so guys signed with your company. Also, probably wouldn't hurt to release any staff members you don't need.

I finally finished July! It looks like I broke away from the other 3 national companies, thanks to increased advertising. I'm having a helluva time landing a 2nd TV show. I'm making my PPV debut this month, so it could be make or break. This will also be my 12th month, so I'll give a year summary when I'm done with this month.

I've got Claudio now anyway that we've gone national. However I lost 750 000 first month and could lose around 500 000 this month so things are looking bad for me. I'll need to take out a loan at this rate, as my advertisers arn't giving me enough. Plus I gave too many guys written contracts ,and I gave them to the wrong guys in many cases.
I am in major money problems. Any tips on getting out of them? I've tried sacking written contract guys and re-signing on open contracts but it's still costing me. I need cash fast and a reluctant to take out a loan in case I can't pay it back. I've had to change to open contracts since I only run 1 show a month so guys I have on writtens that I don't use cost me an awful lot, plus guys who I try to sign on written deals demand bigger wages than on their open deals.

I'm suprised how well I am doing in this ROH game. In my first 11 months, I've made money each month, and risen in public image each month

Make sure you are making enough through sponsorship deals, and make sure your merchandising and advertising aren't too high. Also check out your production costs; your values might be too high for the level you are at. Also, check on the ticket prices, and make sure you are not overcharging or undercharging; u can make more money there.

I'm hitting a low point in my Fusient buys WCW game... I have 2 primetime shows but TNA made me lower my risk level so low that not a lot of options are available for matches, angles, etc. and it's really making things seem repetitive for me. How many times can you run a midget impression angle before it gets stale?
I'm also suffering from having too many workers on the roster. I have 58-ish workers signed with 15 in development but I'm focusing on younger guys and it's causing fans to turn to WWF since my workers aren't as well known. Also, the older guys I don't use, like Stevie Ray and Konnan, are just collecting paychecks. They aren't complaining about their lack of use, but I'm wasting money on them. I can't release them either because according to Sophie my roster would look unprofessional for a global company.
I should note that despite this, business is booming and my shows are always rated between 75 and 85. Anyone have any ideas to get me out of my creative rut?

What's your risk level at, out of curiousity?

I'm pretty sure this game is random. Sometimes I just do horrible from the beginning and others times it feels like I can do no wrong, I'm playing one of those do no wrong files right now.

I am in a "do no wrong" type of thing,too. Even the random feuds I do seem good. I randomly put Jimmy Jacobs and Kevin Steen together in a feud, and they had 13 matches. All 13 were 5 stars.
I'm about to book my first PPV. Wish me luck!

Death Before Dishonor VI(my first PPV) is over. it got an 86 rating. I got a buy rate of .6 and an attendance of just a little over 8000. Thats double my usual attendance. I think it was a HUGE success.

the PPV did end up being a success. I ended up making almost a full $1 million more than I did last month.

I think it was a HUGE success. I have a feeling ratings don't effect the buyrates. I've pulled off a few seventy percenters that drew over 9000 people.

I just was saying that it was both a financial and critical success.

I think it was a HUGE success. Nice. My first one, a month before yours in game drew a .43. You've obviously built up your company better than me. Did you bring in any big names? I usually do, but chose not to on this, instead I just kept my guys and basically pillaged PWG and tried to get them and my company over on just what was there.

What's your risk level at, out of curiousity? It's at 39 currently (since TNT primetime's maximum risk is 40). I don't mind that, but I had to raise it to have a few feud ending matches (like a ladder match) and pissed off the sponsors in the process.

Anyone have a link for the latest version of the game with Lashley/etc. I still have an old one. And is there anyway to bring back a guy that's sitting out his contract?

My biggest fued (Steve Austin vs. Christopher Daniels) just died. Austin went to rehab and then the next day Daniels (my current Undisputed Champion) ripped his bicep and will be out for seven months.
EDIT: I'm signing The Undertaker for my annual "Night Of Appreciation" event and putting the title on him so he can fued with Raven for awhile.
